There you go

Looks like its confirmed by Paul from MoDaCo!! http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien

Fantastic news! Downloading now.

what's its use?

About time! Maybe now we'll finally get better CM Rom ports and custom recovery

Finally ;-) awesomeee

Great! Hopefully we're gonna see r/w on /system too, soonish!

sorry this will sound stupid but what does these kernel sources allow devs to do?? I thought gaining root access was the most important thing in customizing stock roms..

Thanks like to get my hands on it

Hopefully this makes it possible to have a almost 100% identical rom to the stock N1.

+1, Love to see some of the marvellous nexus kernels ported to desire. And fully ported Enomther and Cyanogen rom.

Yeah full Cyanogen would be great too.

Can somebody provide a /proc/config.gz from a stock Desire?
Also, anybody want to try OC-UV on the Desire?

This is not from the stock desire rom. But all roms up to now use the default kernel, so here you go, I had to recompress it for upload purposes.

If my understanding is correct...this will allow custom ROMs with the Sense UI to be created and hopefully...fully functional.
Customized Sense ROM with 100% working bluetooth

this will be a busy week end for cooks!

I think the first thing on the agenda is to Port Peshoots OC Kernal with a fully functioning CM 5.07
Get to work guys))))))

That means we will be able to get Android 2.2 Froyo when it will be available for Nexus One ?

get real excited... 2.3 "EMERALD"

Nice!
Great News!

Cool! that means support for mt4g is still on (atleast for sometime) especially with tmo att merge and also on are hopes for an official gb update!

does that phone have espresso UI?

Don't worry about it bro, its all good... as of now we only have a hacked kernel for GB and it is just pieced together, so an official kernel will lead to GB running better on our phones and less glitches and such

TMO actually just initiated an internal beta of gingerbread for the mt4g today.

[Source] G2x \ LG P999 2.3.3 OTA Source Code [8.16.11]

We have all been waiting very patiently, but we finally have it, AHEAD of schedule. The source code for the LG 2.3.3 OTA update is now available. You can either download it straight from LG's open source site or via the mirror I created. Enjoy!
LG's Open Source Site: Link
Download Link
Let the custom kernels\builds begin........May the source be with you!

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does this source have any value to the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 roms? For the longest time I was using X boarders OTA Tweak, but recently switched to EB 1.08 (2.3.5) and love it .
Will this code bring the 2.3.3 roms to a whole new level where I might want to go back. Will this allow Whitehawkx and Doniqcc to fix a few of there issues in theit 2.3.3 roms?
Just wondering what this means? Maybe it just means an OC / UV Kernel which would be great too, especially if Faux can get voodoo working on 2.3.3.

That'd be nice, but most likely not. They aren't waiting for the kernel source for a2dp on .3.4 and .3.5, they're waiting on the source code from nvidia. As nice as it'd be, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
Still, this is very good news either way.

I do agree that it is good news. I was really just curious.

EvilD sold his G2x and is no longer developing for this device. Sorry for the bad news. Luckily, WhiteHawkx and Roman from EDT are awesome devs are work on the G2x. You may juts need to remind Roman to give us G2x users some love, especially now that we have code to play with

aww man
was waiting for this

Probably not, this will just hel for custom kernels for 2.3.3. Our issue with 2.3.4 adn 2.3.5 has to do with missing source\technical specs from Nvidia, which we may never get. Its not that AOSP (2.3.4, 2.3.5, Cm7) isnt compatible for the G2x, it just doesnt have the necessary drivers and such. The talented CM7 team (mainly CM-Arcee) has done a fantastic job of writing drivers for battery and other functions from scratch, because this source is made for the LG build which is NOT AOSP, despite looking like it. Hope that clears up the source issue and eliminates the "will this fix X,Y, or Z in 2.3.5, CM7, etc"....probably not.

As lge had released source code for 2.3.3 , will this help to solve rooting issue with 2.3.3 ota / lg update utility.??

when i was testing the defy 4.0 port. i have the same issue on usb connection. and i found that when usb connect, nothing were written to /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file.
normally, /dev/block/vold/179:0 should be written to there.
but more instersting is that after i use dual sd mount widget. even i uninstall it(not reboot), my usb can work normally. but after reboot, it buggy again.

european kernel seems to have some check on system version or bl version. as some guys said in other thread. flashing only euro kerenl/devtree will not boot at all. so maybe ch kernel is another possible choice.
edit: just heard some news from defy section, they seems to use gb kernel in future 4.0

Nice Work
Very good to see that you guys are working on this new Android to Milestone 2, this make me don´t want to trade my cellphone!
I´d like to thank you for your great work, and as soon as this version is working i will try!

looks promise. thanks you,tezet!

It looks sooo beautiful! I am awaiting it eagerly!!!

great work guys.....looking forward for this....

Great!!
but my razr might come next week.....
I won't sell my ms2 anyway, after move to razr I can be a tester on new roms and not to fear many things don't work as I got another phone to use
Sent from my Milestone 2 using XDA app

Good job!!
But since I flashed my phone to the official GB, it seems that I must wait for a while.
Fortunately, I like the new blur, though the ram usage is much higher than CM7...
I will keep waiting for the stable version!
Thanks for your great work

Looks amazing tezet! when i got my MS2 at the start of the year i never would have thought some of the stuff that has been done with CM on the MS2 could have been done.
A great dev team has made this possible!

this is great news! i can't wait to test this! thanks a lot for making this possible guys.

Does the mention of "Temporary fix permissions for gb kernel" is what you ppl are referring to? Are they talking about GB kernel that came with Euro GB update of M2?

It has nothing to do with Milestone 2. It's the kernel from one of Defy's GB roms.

I've managed to get keyboard working apart from 'B', which really puzzles me. Interestingly ALT lock is now working This is due to new, very flexible keyboard handling introduced in honeycomb.
There seems to be bug in keyboard lid detection, the logic was inverted.

Thank you for your awsome work and looking forward to other builds.

I also thought of that. I started playing with CH GB kernel (actually I just boot up out of it). For those stuck with UK GB we can just prepare builds based on this kernel (at least I think so .

Tweak and Adreno libs (like ChaCha has) to improbe 3D performance.

As seen in several threads here @XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530411), it seems that there are newer libraries for 3D processing, to be used with the Adreno GPU, that is the ChaCha uses.
Well, I downloaded them and tested.
The benchmark app I use shows a performance improvement, but I found that modifying the build.prop file as requested, makes things worse, actually.

I wonder, have you tried using this tweak in collaboration with the one you posted about improving responsiveness? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32158389#post32158389)
If the benchmark is showing that the performance is increased, perhaps what's slowing it down is the cpu not being compatible with the changes. turning off cpu rendering may solve the issue and actually show performance increase like the benchmark shows.

for some reason, when I flash this, my device won't boot. naturally I can get into CWM and flash a copy of the old files again, so its fine, but I'm wondering what I might be doing wrong. This happens with and without the edits to build.prop. for some reason my phone just doesn't seem to like the updated libraries.

I guess Tokafondo tested them on a GB rom, and you tested it on ICS? The libs are specific for a version:

The "sorry for being a noob" excuse does not work with me. You could've at least search for the name of the Android version you are using. I have said read the thread because there a specific quote that says the following: "This is very specific, you should mention that this only works on Gingerbread."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_2.3.x_Gingerbread
Do you have your answer now?

Debug.performance.tuning=1
Pm.dexopt tweaks
Ro.kernel.qemu=1 (laggy UI , not every phone affect by this)
That cause the performance drop !
I still trying to find more what causing the lag ! :/
